Quote:This game reminds me of Buddy Ryan's first season (as head coach) when he had a rebuilding team and headed into Chicago (his former team) on the road, in week 2 of the 1986 season. The Eagles were huge underdogs as expected but fought and scrapped for their head coach as they knew the game would be emotional for him. That Eagles team got destroyed in their opener vs Washington much like the Jags got destroyed by Kansas City. 

 

The Eagles played very hard for Ryan that day and wound up barely losing to Chicago in overtime, 13-10. 

 

Its a very similar situation here with Gus Bradley going back to Seattle for this game. 

 

How the Jags play in this game I think will tell a lot about how much this team feels for their current head coach. 

 

 

 

I think the Jags will rise to the occasion and play hard for Bradley, despite being overwhelming 20 point underdogs. 

 

 

 

Jaguars 13 

 

Seattle 17

 

 

 

P.S. nice to see a new board so I can post again to the main forum without driver errors!!!!! :thumbsup:

 

 

Yeah, I am not as optimistic as you are my friend. They went 8 - 0 last season at home. Just set the record for being the loudest stadium ever recorded. And they just held a SB contending football team to 3 points that are VASTLY more superior than any talent we have on this roster right now. When you add in the fact that historically this team has played like garbage on the West Coast, and this being in year's past where we actually had a competitive and more experienced roster, yeah, 17 to 13? I am thinking more like 45 to 6. Wouldn't even be surprised if they hit the 50 mark. I think Henne throws 3 INT's in this game, one will be a pick-six. Lynch is going to go bonkers on our putrid run defense, and we'll be lucky if we see anything past the 50 yard line much like when we had to grit our teeth thru in the season opener.
